<h2>Answer:</h2>

Hence, the rate of change of the price of apples is:

$ 0.20 per year.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let P denote the price of apples.

It is given that the initial price of apples is: $ 0.30 per lb.

i.e. P(0)=$ 0.30 per lb.

Also, the price of the apples after three years is: $ 0.90 per lb.

i.e. P(3)=$ 0.90 per lb.

Hence, the rate of the change of the price of apples is calculated by:

$Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{P(3)-P(0)}{3-0}$

Now on putting the value in the formula we obtain:

$Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{0.90-0.30}{3-0}\\\\\\Rate\ of\ change=\dfrac{0.60}{3}\\\\\\Rate\ of\ change=0.20$

The rate of change is:

$ 0.20 per year.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option d. PQ = YZ

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

Choose the most appropriate answer. The PQR triangle and the XYZ triangle are two congruent triangles. The angle P = the angle Y and PR = YX. Side pairs of the same length are ... a. PQ = XZ b. QR = YZ c. QR = XY d. PQ = YZ

we know that

If two triangles are congruent, then its corresponding sides and its corresponding angles are congruent

Corresponding sides are named using pairs of letters in the same position on either side of the congruence statement

we have that

$m\angle P=m\angle Y$

$PR=YX$

Triangle PQR is congruent with Triangle YZX

That means

<em><u>Corresponding angles</u></em>

$m\angle P=m\angle Y$

$m\angle Q=m\angle Z$

$m\angle R=m\angle X$

<u><em>Corresponding sides</em></u>

$PQ=YZ\\QR=ZX\\PR=YX$

Which expression is equivalent to 7a2b + 10a2b2 + 14a2b3?

Ugo [173]

The given expression can be simplified in many ways by grouping like terms. The simplest form is obtained by factoring out a²b which gives us the following expression.

a²b(7 + 10b +14b²)
